Brenda calls in at Home Farm to see Tom. He says he's going to ask his gran to help him buy Brian out. Mike appears - would Tom like to sell his bacon on Mike's milk round? Mike also reminds Tom about looking after the pigs when Neil takes Susan to London.

Susan's in the Bull, making party arrangements with Jolene. Susan plays Jolene some of the party music, and they both sing along. Mike catches them at it. They tell him they're planning a surprise party for Neil, and it's a secret. Mike says he's not sure about midweek parties - Neil would have work the next day. And is Susan sure Neil likes surprises? Or parties for that matter? Susan thinks Mike's implying that Neil's boring. If he can only find fault, then he shouldn't come.

Tom arrives at Glebe Cottage and finds Peggy in need of help - Jack's having a bad day. Tom sorts everything out and Peggy's really grateful. She says she's heard he's having problems with Brian, but she's sure he'd rather talk about Brenda.

Tom arrives home, telling Brenda it wasn't right to ask Peggy. Brenda tells him things will be ok, but Tom says he's stuck with Brian - where can he go from there?
